Comment
The 2nd bust of Willem the 1st only issued in 1840 on the 1 and 2 1/2 GuldenInteresting fact
The 1 Gulden - Willem I 1840 coin from the Netherlands features a unique design element - the portrait of King Willem I is surrounded by a wreath made of leaves and berries, which was a departure from the traditional royal crown typically depicted on coins. This design choice was meant to symbolize the connection between the monarch and the land, and the natural, organic elements were seen as a representation of the Dutch people's connection to the earth and their agricultural heritage.
